+# 🍋 Lemontropia Suite — User Test Guide
+
+**Version:** 0.1.0-alpha  
+**Status:** Core Data Capture Engine — Mock Mode  
+**Date:** 2026-02-08
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Prerequisites
+```bash
+# Ensure Python 3.11+ is installed
+python3 --version
+
+# Run from project directory
+cd /home/impulsivefps/.openclaw/workspace/projects/Lemontropia-Suite
+```
+
+### 2. Launch Application
+```bash
+python3 main.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📋 User Test Checklist
+
+### ✅ Test 1: Create a Project
+1. Select option **1** (Create New Project)
+2. Enter name: `My First Hunt`
+3. Select type: **1** (Hunting)
+4. Verify project appears in list (Option 2)
+
+**Expected:** Project created with ID, visible in project list
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Test 2: Live Session (Mock Mode)
+1. Select option **3** (Start Live Session)
+2. Select your project
+3. Watch mock log data being processed
+4. Observe loot/globals/skills being captured
+5. Press **Ctrl+C** to stop
+6. View session summary
+
+**Expected:** 
+- Session starts
+- Mock events appear (loot, skills, globals)
+- Events recorded to database
+- Summary shows total PED, event counts
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Test 3: View Statistics
+1. Select option **4** (View Project Stats)
+2. Select your project
+3. Review totals and ROI
+
+**Expected:**
+- Session count displayed
+- Total PED calculated
+- ROI percentage shown
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Test 4: Data Persistence
+1. Exit application (Option 0)
+2. Restart: `python3 main.py`
+3. Select option **2** (List Projects)
+4. Select option **4** (View Stats)
+
+**Expected:** Data persists between runs
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 What You're Testing
+
+### Core Features
+- ✅ **Project Management** — Create, list, archive projects
+- ✅ **Session Tracking** — Start/end sessions with auto-capture
+- ✅ **Log Parsing** — Real-time regex pattern matching
+- ✅ **Data Storage** — SQLite with Data Principle schema
+- ✅ **Statistics** — ROI calculations, event summaries
+
+### Never-Break Rules Validated
+- ✅ **Data Principle** — Every session saved as Project
+- ✅ **Log Polling** — 2-second interval (performance)
+- ✅ **Decimal Precision** — PED/PEC exact calculations
+- ✅ **Mock Mode** — No game client required
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Expected Output Example
+
+```
+🍋 ==========================================
+   LEMONTROPIA SUITE — User Test Build
+   Data Capture Engine v0.1.0
+==========================================
+
+🍋 Initializing Lemontropia Suite...
+✅ Database ready
+
+📋 MAIN MENU
+----------------------------------------
+  1. 🎯 Create New Project
+  2. 📂 List All Projects
+  3. ▶️  Start Live Session (Mock Mode)
+  4. 📊 View Project Stats
+  5. 🗄️  Archive Project
+  6. 🧹 Reset Database (WARNING)
+  0. 🚪 Exit
+----------------------------------------
+Select option: 1
+
+🎯 CREATE NEW PROJECT
+----------------------------------------
+Project name: My First Hunt
+
+Project types:
+  1. hunt (Hunting)
+  2. mine (Mining)
+  3. craft (Crafting)
+  4. inventory (Inventory)
+Select type (1-4): 1
+
+✅ Created project: My First Hunt (ID: 1, Type: hunt)
+
+📂 PROJECTS
+------------------------------------------------------------
+  ID    Name                 Type       Status     Created
+  ----------------------------------------------------------
+  1     My First Hunt        hunt       active     2026-02-08
+
+  Total: 1 project(s)
+
+📋 MAIN MENU
+...
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: `ModuleNotFoundError`
+**Solution:** Python standard library only — no external deps for core
+
+### Issue: Permission denied on database
+**Solution:** Check `data/` directory permissions
+
+### Issue: Mock log not found
+**Solution:** App auto-generates `test-data/mock-chat.log` on first run
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Feedback
+
+After testing, report:
+1. Did all menu options work?
+2. Were loot events captured correctly?
+3. Did statistics calculate properly?
+4. Any errors or unexpected behavior?
+5. Performance observations?
+
+---
+
+## 🍋 Next Steps
+
+After successful user test:
+- Sprint 2: GUI Foundation (PyQt6)
+- HUD Overlay system
+- Real-time stats display
+- Module toggles
